Illegal immigration (2)

According to journalist Natalino Fenech, "the large number of immigrants in Malta is fuelling a degree of racism" (June 23). I beg to differ.

Is it racism to want to protect your country? Is it racism to want to preserve your children's future? Is it racism to expect that the taxes you contribute are actually spent on something you can benefit from? Is it racism to show concern at the ongoing phenomenon which our country is totally unprepared to face? Is it racism to worry about the fact that some places in Malta have already become no-go areas for the Maltese people? Is it racism to worry about the safety of your daughter coming home by bus from the Valletta terminus some time after 6 p.m.? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then by all means, call me a racist.

The Maltese people have already spoken. Their non-presence at the "multi-cultural" event is enough to affirm that all the brainwashing being practised by various politicians, organisations and media is all in vain. The Maltese people definitely do not want to integrate with these unwelcome visitors. On the contrary, the majority of the Maltese are getting fed up at the inertia of the authorities in controlling and quelling this situation. But obviously they are afraid to speak out because they "can be charged for inciting racism". So much for freedom of thought and freedom of speech.

The Maltese people should not be made to pay for other countries' shortcomings. Repatriation is the best solution. Then and only then will these people stop coming to our shores!
